Comparing Microbial Communities of Diseased and Healthy Isopora palifera Corals and Adjacent Waters at the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolBacteria are not the primary cause of growth anomalies (GA) in Isopora palifera at the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. While microbial communities differ between GA‐affected and healthy corals, no specific bacterial taxa were linked to disease, suggesting that other factors, such as viruses, may drive GA onset and progression.

Environmental and Protection Effects of Shark-Companion Associations Across Three Ocean Basins. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCompanion species frequently associate with large marine hosts, yet the ecological drivers of these relationships remain poorly understood. Using a global dataset of midwater BRUVS deployments, we modelled the presence and abundance of shark‐companion associations across seven shark species and three ocean basins.

Decolonizing through integration: Australia's off-shore island territories [PDF]
Island Studies Journal, 2016 Australia’s three small off-shore island territories – Norfolk Island in the Pacific Ocean and Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Group in the Indian Ocean – can be seen as monuments to 19th century British-style colonization, though their ...

Genetic Insights Into the Introduction History of Black Rats Into the Eastern Indian Ocean
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Islands can be powerful demonstrations of how destructive invasive species can be on endemic faunas and insular ecologies. Oceanic islands in the eastern Indian Ocean have suffered dramatically from the impact of one of the world’s most destructive ...

Towards the Spectral Mapping of Plastic Debris on Beaches
Remote Sensing, 2021 Floating and washed ashore marine plastic debris (MPD) is a growing environmental challenge. It has become evident that secluded locations including the Arctic, Antarctic, and remote islands are being impacted by plastic pollution generated thousands of ...

Incidence, Prevalence, Survival and Mortality of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma and Waldenström Macroglobulinaemia in Australia. [PDF]
Cancer MedABSTRACT Background Mature B‐cell neoplasms chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM) are highly prevalent in older populations. Aims This study quantified the incidence, prevalence and relative survival/mortality rate in Australia for CLL/SS and WM and reported the past trends. Materials

Global Distribution of Omura’s Whales (Balaenoptera omurai) and Assessment of Range-Wide Threats
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 When the Omura’s whale (Balaenoptera omurai) was first described in 2003, it was known from only three locations: the southern Sea of Japan, and the vicinities of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Solomon Islands. Work over the following decade suggested a
